Chilliwack hosts police from around the world in specialized training

Members of the International Police Association hold training workshop in Canada for the first time.

They were members of the International Police Association – the largest police association in the world, boasting 360,000 members from more than 65 countries.

The RCMP’s Pacific Regional Training Centre hosted 27 of those delegates this week, coming from countries as divers as Iceland, Germany, Japan and Aruba.


“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to learn what our brothers and sisters are doing in other law enforcement agencies around the world,” he said, “and how we can take that back and improve our own police service, improve our own communities and improve globally.”

This was the first time Canada has hosted an IPA training event.
